The Florida Panthers envision lifting the Stanley Cup on home ice when they welcome the Edmonton Oilers to Amerant Bank Arena for tonight's Game 5, and we have you covered with our Oilers-Panthers parlay predictions based on the best NHL odds.
The Edmonton Oilers look to improve upon their 3-0 record in potential elimination games, while the Florida Panthers hope to win their first Stanley Cup on their second attempt to do so. The Panthers are the consensus favorites to win Game 5 and lift the Stanley Cup ahead of tonight's Game 5, which starts at 8 p.m. ET (ABC).
While the Oilers' Stanley Cup odds shortened substantially after their 8-1 victory in Game 4, they have a ton of work ahead if they are to come back and win the series. Only one team, the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, has come back from an 0-3 series deficit to win the Stanley Cup.
Along wit h our Oilers-Panthers expert pick and Game 5 prop picks, here is my best SGP for tonight's potential decider.

SGP predictions for Oilers vs. Panthers Game 5
I expect the Panthers to be at their physical and oppressive best tonight, particularly defensively. As aggressive as a rabid, starving cat, the Panthers will try to limit the number of carry-in entries from the Oilers.
That should force Edmonton to dump it in and establish the forecheck, utilizing Ekholm at the point more frequently. Ekholm has at least two shots on goal in every Stanley Cup Final contest.
He's also as gritty, determined, and steadfast as they come. Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final provides a perfect platform for Ekholm to showcase his physical superiority and chip in from the back end. This leg has odds of -154, implying a 60.63% probability.
The stage is set for Tkachuk, a lover of the limelight. His skill set is conducive to box office events, and none is more box office than the chance to win his and the team's first Stanley Cup on home ice.
Snakebitten of late, Tkachuk hasn't scored a goal in nine games. He was, however, dangerous throughout Game 4 despite his team's disparaging and humiliating defeat. Tkachuk now has at least three shots on goal in six of the previous eight games, including two of the four Stanley Cup Final contests.
I'm expecting a vengeful and focused bounce-back performance from the Cats, w hich Tkachuk should be at the center of. This leg of the prop has -166 odds, implying a 62.41% probability.
Rodrigues enjoyed a dream-like start to the Stanley Cup Final, scoring three goals in Games 1 and 2 at home. That dream isn't over yet for the late-bloomer, who has at least three shots in three of the last four contests and five of the previous seven.
Rodrigues has enjoyed playing on the Panthers' top line with Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart, benefitting from his captain's ability to pick him out almost unerringly. Rodrigues is one of the faster Panthers, which has created issues for the Oilers' defense – particularly Darnell Nurse, Codi Ceci, and Vincent Desharnais.
This leg has odds of -175, implying a 63.64% probability. All three legs combined garner odds of +315, which has an implied probability of 24.10%. A $10 bet pays a profit of $31.50 if every leg hits.
